AHP News

1 min read

Good news, everyone! Especially to those who read on AO3. I've talked with AO3's support and I will *not* have to take down the original version of AHP posted there in order to post the BPW edition :). In extra good news, I have the first 1 chapters of Y1 BPW done, including an entirely new chapter 1/prologue that may answer some questions readers have had over certain character motivations.

Okay all, SO! Here's the newest skinny. Going to be lots coming down the pipeline in the next couple of weeks, lol.


FIRSTLY! Good news: There WILL be a prologue. Essentially, it will be the prologue of canon HP, but from a very different (but welcome) character's perspective. (Rhymes with Spaniel).


SECONDLY! Good news: Things are moving quickly, and the original Ch1 of Y1 is updated to account for Harriet's new identity. Moving along quickly with Ch2! ^_^


THIRDLY! Middling news: And sort of the biggest news. The OG version of AHP is somewhat going away. When the new Y1 is finished, the old will go into my scraps here on DA. For those who prefer to read it elsewhere, like on AO3 or Fanfiction, it is going away altogether. Mostly to cut down on confusion, but also because I think those sites have plagiarism detectors and that would just be annoying to deal with. I may be wrong but it would just be yeah neater and cleaner there to start all over.


THIRDLY part deux!: As a result, I think I'll wait until all the updates are completed before posting anywhere. It shouldn't take too long (it took only about an hour to do Y1-Ch1).


Anyway, thanks to all who've stuck with me and hope everyone enjoys this going forward! I'm currently putting together some excellent metal playlists to play and keep myself pumped!

Hey everyone, so a little bit of a "good news/bad news/good news" sandwich.

Good news (for some... just stay with me until second good news): AHP is not dead.

Bad news: It is going to go away for a while. (I know it's kinda been gone but... I've been having lots of thoughts and feelings on it...)

Okay, good news 2: It's going to be getting a very extensive rewrite, and Harriet herself is going to be getting a bit of a makeover. Edition 2.0 is presently being titled "AHP: Blue/Pink/White Edition" (if you know, you know).

So now the explaining. I started AHP at some friends' behest. It sounded like a fun challenge and I kinda wanted to make it a "fuck you" to some articles I saw that said the series wouldn't have been as popular if Harry had been a girl.

It became a fun project that helped me make great friends and honed my writing. But steadily... as we all know... all of the things the world seemed to stand for steadily got taken apart... you know who. Now... no matter how much I've tried to make it a properly inclusive world... I still can't help but feel that just isn't enough, and working on it is still tacitly endorsing harmful ideologies that affect people I care about...

So... what's changing? Mostly, just that Harriet will now be a trans girl, and stuff that will naturally flow from there. I'll also be taking into account some of the most consistent and valid critiques I've had over the years. Meaning we might see some faces earlier than we usually do, among other things. Perhaps one face in particular.

So how would everyone feel if I said that there is in fact another chapter of AHP about to come out...?

Well, Ch22 is here, and with it the first major changes of this new 2.0 sort of version of Y5. AHP's first background trans character has officially been elevated to it's first trans secondary character. We're definitely going to get to know Hufflepuff's Alee Jameson a lot more over the coming year :) I do hope you all like her...
